The La Grange, Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale/auction:

 

2009 Black Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-Door 4.6L

This vehicle is surplus property of the Village of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law: It MUST be sold in an auction-style format such as eBay.  There is no Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty, neither express nor implied.  All sales are FINAL and NO returns will be accepted.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is NO reserve on this vehicle.

 

The vehicle has a mileage of 111,334 miles.  The vehicle has no notable body damage or rust, just normal wear-n-tear and minor scratches.  The vehicle has working turn signals, hazards, internal dome light, power door locks, power windows, power mirrors, power pedal adjustment, power trunk release, power driver's seat and lumbar.  The horn works, the A/C, heat, and fan blower all work.  The rear defrost and wipers work.  The vehicle is equipped with cruise controls on the steering wheel (unknown if working-we did not use them).  The vehicle is equipped with a working spotlight on the driver's side.  The vehicle's tires appear to be in decent shape.  The back seat of the vehicle is new (never used).

Notable damage/scratches/dents/imperfections/things that don't work or things that need to be replaced/repaired:

This vehicle was used as part of a fleet of police vehicles.  We had the police decals removed, however, the vehicle will need to be "buffed" where the decals used to be (see photos).  There were three small holes cut into the outside roof of the vehicle for police equipment.  Two of the holes have been "capped," however, the third hole will need a cap.  There is a small hole cut into the roof (inside headliner) that was also used for police equipment (see photos).  The vehicle will need a new battery; it needs to be jumped to start.  When the vehicle was used as a police vehicle, a cutoff switch was installed that allowed the vehicle to remain on with the keys out of the ignition.  The switch was taken out, however, the wiring is still in back of the dash.  The headlights do not go on as well as the AM/FM stereo.  It is unknown if it is just a fuse or if it has something to do with the cutoff switch.  Lastly, and most importantly, the vehicle was driven until late 2013, when we received a diagnosis that the engine needed to be replaced.  The vehicle runs and moves, however, it will need a new engine!  The winning bidder should have the vehicle towed from our lot. 

Over the years, the following damage/major repairs have been made to this vehicle (maintenance record):

1.  01/16/10 vehicle involved in passenger side (front door/front tire) crash.  Damage repaired to the amount of $2,190.70.  2.  01/24/11 transmission cooler and condenser assembly replaced.     3.  06/03/11 replacement of fuel sender and front/rear brakes.     4.  07/26/11 replacement of blower resister/switch/wires and recharge A/C.     5. 09/21/11 replacement of heat motor assembly      6.  01/02/12 replacement of passenger-side airbag switch and repaired rear defroster.     7.  05/26/12 replaced heat and A/C blower motor and cooling fan assembly.     8.  06/14/12 rebuilt transmission assembly.     9.  06/28/12 replaced alternator.     10.  09/30/12 replaced 4 tires, A/C service, alignment.     11.  10/11/12 replaced sway bar links, transmission service/flush, rear brakes, replaced rack and pinion.     12.  10/24/12 replaced air bag sensor, replaced drive belt and spark plugs.     13.  11/20/12 re-built driver's seat cushion.     14.  08/12/13 A/C service, replaced rack and pinion, alignment, two new tires.  15.  ALL routine maintenance including tires, oil changes, etc was completed on a regular schedule.

Black Zombie electric Mustang launches Blood Shed Motors [w/videos]

Thu, Jun 19 2014

As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant. Lightning repeatedly vanquished the darkness like the angriest of strobe lights and thunder shook the building, punctuating the clatter of a heavy Texas rain on the metal roof as the clock ticked away the initial seconds of a rare full moon Friday the 13th. It was then that the Black Zombie came to life for the first time. Beneath the hood of this rust-free 1968 Mustang fastback, a 289-cubic-inch V8 no longer turns gasoline into heat, noise and pollution. As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant, and now boasts twinned Warp 11 DC motors and a pair of fresh Zilla controllers that will serve as the basic blueprint for future vehicles. Dubbed the Zombie 222 drivetrain, the setup will be limited to 750 horsepower in customer's cars to keep the maintenance experience low, and eventually will draw power from a 40-kWh battery pack. In this first example, though, the output is bit more extreme. For one day, at least, they have the 1,500-kW-capable pack that powers the record-setting Swamp Rat 37 racer belonging to Don Garlits and a brief window of opportunity to try it out on a track. Blood Shed Motors is the result of a collaboration between NEDRA co-founder John "Plasma Boy" Wayland, the man who helped bring electric vehicle drag racing to the attention of the world with his unassuming White Zombie Datsun 1200 conversion and Austin, TX business man Mitch Medford, who've put together a small team of experts in their chosen fields. The plan is to build a limited number of muscle car conversions on pristine early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. The plan is to build a limited number of high-quality muscle car conversions on pristine (No restored rust buckets!) early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. Each can be customized according to buyer's wishes and blessed with its own serial number. The price tags will be in the eye-watering $200,000-and-up neighborhood, reflective of the cost and rarity of these cars and the custom nature of the alterations. Of course, you can't just multiply horsepower and add the monster torque that these electric motors put out and expect an antique chassis to hold up.

Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.

Ford recalling 390,000 cars over door latch woes

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Ford is recalling certain Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles due to faulty door latches, marking the latest in what seems to be a recurring issue for the Blue Oval. This is the third door latch recall from Ford in 2015, following a 213,000-unit recall in March and a 205,000-unit recall in January. This one, however, is significantly larger. A total of 390,000 units are affected, including Fusions and MKZs from model years 2013 and 2014, as well as Fiestas from model years 2012 to 2014. A "broken pawl spring tab" is the culprit, potentially keeping doors from latching shut. According to Ford, even if the door does shut, it could come open again without warning. The affected Fiestas were built between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 at the Cuautitlan, Mexico factory. The Fusion and MKZ siblings, meanwhile, were screwed together at Hermosillo Assembly in Mexico between July 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Ford is aware of three minor reports of door malfunctions. In two cases, the door bounced back open, quite literally hitting drivers on their way out. In the third case, a door swung open of its own accord while a driver was attempting to park, hitting another vehicle. Ford will notify owners, who will need to report into dealers to have all four latches replaced. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: APR 24, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR DOOR LATCH ISSUE ON FORD FIESTA AND FUSION, LINCOLN MKZ Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 390,000 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta and 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for a door latch issue. The door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Feb.
